Jungkook read the receipt and paid Hanni's fees. After that, the staff member told Jungkook, "By the way, Mr. Kim... Hanuel is still very young... he shouldn't eat canteen food every day... I know this bill is not a big deal for you, but... your child's health should be the first priority for you... so please send his lunch from home... no matter how much he insists, don't let him eat canteen food every day... two days might not be a big deal, but more than that could cause problems... and anyway, how canteen food compare to your home-cooked food... I hope you understand what I'm saying." Hearing this, Jungkook felt very embarrassed because the madam thought that they were not sending lunch from home for their child. But how could he explain that he had no idea about it? And if he explained now, what would they think about Hanni? So, Jungkook decided not to tell the truth and said, "Yes, I understand what you are saying... actually, Hanuel always brings home-cooked food, but for the past few days, we have been staying at the old Kim mansion, and the chef who prepares Hanuel's lunch is still at the new Kim mansion. So, Hanuel's taste has changed a bit, and maybe he doesn't like the food prepared by the chefs here... that's why I told him to eat something from the canteen."

Old Kim mansion, living hall,

Jungkook stood with his arms crossed over his chest. His anger was clearly visible on his face. His gaze was fixed on Hanuel, who stood before him with his head lowered. The regret for what he had done was evident on his face, but even more so was the fear. Fear of what his mumma would do now. So far, he had only asked him why he did it. Jungkook had said whatever came to his mind in a hurry, but he himself knew how embarrassed he felt giving that excuse. The excuse was quite odd, but the teacher believed it because such problems were common for children from wealthy families. These children were accustomed to the food prepared by their chefs since they were not often allowed to eat outside food. Seeing the teacher believe his story, Jungkook felt relieved. He said, "It's only an hour until school ends, so can I take Hanuel home with me now?" "Yes, of course! I will inform his teacher right away... meanwhile, please wait here," the staff member said. Hanuel had said that he got bored of eating homemade food, which is why he ate at the canteen. When he offered to pay from his pocket money, they didn't take the money. At that time, he thought they weren't taking the money because his dadda was the biggest trustee, but he didn't know the trap they were setting for him. Poor Hanni, caught in his innocence. After a while, Jungkook said, "Do you know, Hanni, how much your behavior embarrassed your mumma today? Your mumma had to lie to your teacher so she wouldn't think bad of you." Hearing this, Hanni, still with his head lowered, said, "Sorry, Mumma... Hanni will never do this again. Please forgive me this time." Jungkook didn't think it was right to say much more because hid mood was so bad that he didn't want to talk to Hanuel or anyone else at that moment. Somewhere, Jungkook had told Taehyung that he would be a good mother, and as a mother, he hadn't even realized what his son was eating and what he wasn't.

And all this happened because he hadn't been paying proper attention to hanni for the past few days. In fact, he hadn't been paying proper attention to him since they came here. Therefore, Jungkook was feeling like a huge failure as a mother at this moment. "For the next week... no snacks, and for breakfast, you'll get something healthier instead of jam-bread... and I don't want to hear any complaints." Jungkook said this last line in a slightly stern voice when he saw that Hanni was about to say something in response to his punishment. Hearing jungkook's warning, hanni pouted, lowered his head, and said, "Okay, Mumma!" "Now go back to your room and change!" Jungkook said, and Hanni quietly left. As soon as he left, Jungkook told the maid, "After a while, go and make sure Hanni has his lunch... I'll be in the guest room... and no one should disturb me." Then he went to the guest room because Hanni was currently in Taehyung and Jungkook's bedroom. After all, for the past few days, the three of them had been staying in the same room together.
